Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara Reviews

I tend to return to Lancôme when I want a truly reliable mascara. Unfortunately, I haven't had great results with "Doll Lash." The Christmas-tree shaped brush is meant to catch and tint every single eyelash, ala Zoe Deschanel. I didn't find that it worked as well for me. It is a decent mascara, not great. Despite my use of Shu Uemura's and Sennna's eyelash curlers, I never found the "lift" n...read moreor curl this mascara is supposed to impart. I do like the fact that it is easy to reach every lash, but to no great effect. I'll take "Definicils" or one of the others any day over this mascara (but kudos to Lancôme for amazing mascaras!).— 1 year, 1 month ago

I am so surprised to see several bad reviews of this mascara. This is one of my absolute favorites. Lancome, overall makes wonderful mascaras. I continually return to Lancome after other disappointing mascara purchases. Lancome mascaras do not irritate my eyes, even when I wear contacts. The Doll Lash in particular is effective at building my lash volume, while maintaining a sleek, separated ...read morelook. I don't agree with other reviewers that it clumps. I am on my third tube of this now. As mascaras get older, they will all tend to clump if you do not replace them. Mascaras don't have the longest shelf life.
What is extra special about the Doll Lash is its unique wand. It is tapered so that you can easily and precisely apply the mascara to both the inner and outer corner lashes. Being able to do this without making a huge mess creates such a nice lash look.
Like all the Lancome mascaras, this is is expensive but it is at least as effective (I think much more so in many cases) than other mascaras in its price range. I will continue to purchase and recommend this go-to mascara. — 3 years ago

I was so excited to try this product. I used it for the first time going to a friend's wedding in the summer heat. It went on flawlessly and made my lashes thick and long. out the whole day and evening it didn't flake off or come off under my eyes. I would definitely purchase this product again and highly recommend it to others.

Okay I saw this on either qvc or hsn and was enthralled so I bought it. Now the brush made my lashes look super long and not at all spider like, but by itself it made black smudges around my eyes. I tend to blink alot but have no problems with buxom or maybelline, so I I found a solution since I do like this product. First but on a water proof one coat light than apply the hypnose la come than ap...read moreply another water proof mascara or Shelac, which makesmmakeup water resistant and mostly rub resistant too.

I really don’t understand why this product has such a low rating. In my opinion, it really transformed my lashes, making my eyes look awake, and my lashes literally doll-like. I have naturally long, dark lashes that are noticeable without the mascara. I first tried this at a Lancome counter at Herberger’s and was completely wowed by the result. The formula seemed just right, neither too runny ...read morenor goopy. As I applied it, this gave my lashes a nice lift. I like that it has a slightly tapered end because it makes it more convenient to cover the lashes at the inner corners of the eyes. Once I applied it, I had it on for the whole day. The lashes didn’t clump together, there was no bulky mascara residue over them, just the same amount that I layered on earlier. There was no flaking or smudging, my eyes looked wide awake. It actually gave this really pretty look to my lashes, particularly for the ones along the outer corners of my eyes. It gave a flirty outwards lift to them which no other mascara has done for me before! My lashes looked fuller and numerous, as this mascara separated them (as long as the application technique is right too). This all was experienced with one coat of mascara. I am not fond of layering on too much of chemicals on my lashes, so I normally stick to one layer, unless the mascara doesn’t work well in the first layer. My friends said that something looked different about me, in a good way, but they couldn’t really figure out. All in all, I love this mascara! Only downside for me is the killer price - $26!!! I adore the packaging too, the curvy, feminine shape of the mascara vial, as well Lancome’s flowery pattern. — 1 year, 9 months ago

We’ll start with the brush. It is not very intimidating. It is shaped like a cone (think Christmas Tree) and has a medium density of bristles. I’m not sure why but I get a lot more product on the tube part of the wand than I have with other mascaras, which ends up leaving product on my face since I hit my cheekbones sometimes. The formula itself is very thick and sometimes clumps on the wand...read more which is tough to fix with the shape of the brush.
How does it do on the eyes? I felt that I got tons more length and tons more volume however it really clumped my lashes together which I really don’t like.

I am also very surprised to see so many negative review of this product here. I recently purchased this mascara even though a friend of mine told me that it isn't the longest lasting mascara. I was pleasantly surprised by the product. It coated my lashes without making them clumpy and it lasted all day! My only complaint with Doll Lashes, though, is that it has a bit of a strange smell. The smell ...read moreisn't terrible, but it is rather "chemical-ly". All in all, this is a great mascara with buildable length, buildable volume, dark color, and staying power. If you aren't easily put off by a weird smell, definitely consider the product (even though it was $28 at a local Ulta store... Expensive!) it works incredibly well with my short, thick lashes and is an overall high quality mascara!— 1 year, 5 months ago
